Handmade Crochet Hook and a 2017 Goal

I've been meaning to share this with you since Christmas... a beautiful handmade present from my friend Anna...

She actually MADE that gorgeous wooden crochet hook, can you believe it?! Such a cool present, one-of-a-kind. I love it, thank you Anna!The buttons shown with it are some that my sister-in-law picked out for me - she found a lovely selection of different cute buttons that I am determined to actually use in projects rather than save forever because they are too pretty to use!Actually that brings me onto a bit of a craft goal of mine for 2017. I know it's already February and maybe a bit late for waffling on about goals now... but better late than never, I say!I have decided that 2017 is going to be a stash-busting year for me. I want to finish works in progress that I've had hanging around for years... (I'm talking to you stripy blanket!) and also try to make things with all the crafty stash I currently have. I've got yarn, buttons, ribbons, pretty fabrics... I want to turn them into lovely and/or useful items rather than leave them languishing in my craft room.I'm not saying I won't buy new supplies, but I'm aiming to only buy new things if I have an actual project in mind for them that I plan to make imminently (not at some point in the dark and distant future) and rather than just because they're pretty!I will be sure to update you on how this goes...
